Hi,
I am writing a custom authentication class. I overwrite:
**def authenticate(self, request):**
If a user is not authenticated I do:
**raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed(_('Invalid token.'))**
I expect that djano returns a 401. But django returns 403 like if I were
in has_permission(). But I am in authenticate() for sure. And if in this
methoid this exception is raised Django, sholuld return a 401!
My custom auth class inherits from BaseAuthentication:
from rest_framework.authentication import BaseAuthentication
